Andy has been working as a professional photographer since completing his City & Guilds 744 in 1978, working for local and regional press, then as a studio photographer involved with everything from vehicles to glassware, portraits and weddings.
After getting 'roped in' to a one-off job as camera assist for Match of The Day on a very drafty and cold gantry at Aston Villa football ground he went on to complete a couple of courses in Audio and Video recording at the School of Film & Television in Beconsfield.
He has worked for corporate and broadcast clients from all over the world and in most fields from ENG news to studio-based programming.
In latter years Andy and his wife Jan have built a modest little business supplying stills and video stock footage together with website design and server management services.
Andy has always had a passion for wildlife and natural history and has developed a thorough understanding of field craft, derived from far too much time spent in the company of gamekeepers, not to mention the odd 'rum character' he encountered when he was a boy !
Nowadays Andy is fortunate enough to be able to dedicate all his efforts toward wildlife photography and helping others to achieve great images with whatever equipment they have.
